The weak prince's queen

"Who are you? Don't move!" A sudden shout broke the night's tranquility. It turned out to be a patrolling servant who had noticed something unusual and quickly surrounded them. Chu Xiyue and Dong'er had just crawled out of the cave when they were caught red-handed.

"Don't hurt us, this is the eldest lady, and I am her maid." Dong'er was terrified, fearing that these servants would do something bad to them, so she hurriedly explained loudly.

"Miss? Nonsense!" The servants, holding long swords, looked at Chu Xiyue and Dong'er warily, asking suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"It's me." Chu Xiyue realized that the situation was not good, and quickly reached out to take off the beard on his face, revealing his original face.

Seeing this, Dong'er quickly took off his fake beard.

However, Mrs. Lin in the mansion had already been alarmed at this time. After learning the news, she immediately ordered the servants to bring Chu Xiyue and Dong'er to the conference room.

"Miss, what should we do?" Dong'er looked at Chu Xiyue anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Chu Xiyue held Dong'er's hand tightly and comforted her softly, "Let's see what happens first and act accordingly." Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was actually filled with anxiety and worry. After all, this time, Madam Lin had caught her again. Who knew what tricks she would use against her?

After Chu Xiyue followed Dong'er to the conference room, she stood there at a loss, feeling a little nervous and uneasy.

"Evil creature! Kneel down!" Master Lin stormed into the meeting room and shouted at Chu Xiyue the moment he saw her. His voice was filled with anger and authority, which made people feel terrified.

When Dong'er heard Master Lin's roar, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She immediately knelt on the ground with a thud and pleaded tremblingly: "Master, it's all Dong'er's fault. If you want to punish me, then punish me." She lowered her head and did not dare to look up at Master Lin, for fear that she would anger him.

However, Chu Xiyue was unwilling to kneel. She held Dong'er's hand tightly, trying to pull her up, and said firmly, "Dong'er, get up quickly. We are not wrong." Her eyes revealed an unyielding look, as if she was not afraid of Master Lin's authority.

"You say you're not at fault? Then let me ask you, what are you trying to do in the middle of the night, dressed like this, sneaking out of the house through a dog hole? Look at you, do you still look like a young lady?" Master Lin pointed at Chu Xiyue and scolded her furiously. His eyes flashed with anger, as if he wanted to burn Chu Xiyue to ashes.

"Hmph... You're almost dead, and you still want to act like a young lady?" Chu Xiyue retorted without a hint of weakness. Her tone was filled with indignation and helplessness, as if she felt extremely wronged by her situation.

"What did you say? Who wants to kill you? Tell me the truth." Master Lin frowned and asked doubtfully. Although his tone was still filled with anger, it also revealed a hint of concern. After all, Chu Xiyue was his daughter, and he still cared about her safety.

"Isn't it you, Master Lin? You arranged such a good marriage for me, but now I'm marrying a sickly person." Chu Xiyue raised her head, looked directly into Master Lin's eyes, and spoke righteously. Her words were filled with deep dissatisfaction and resentment, as if she had a strong resistance to this marriage.

"You... stop talking nonsense! This is a marriage granted by the emperor himself, how can you treat it as a joke? I think you clearly want to escape the marriage! You, an unfilial daughter, actually don't care about the lives of everyone in our Lin family!" Master Lin was so angry that his face turned red, and he angrily accused Chu Xiyue.

Chu Xiyue was not afraid at all. She stared straight at Master Lin and said coldly, "When have you ever considered my life?"

Seeing this, Madam Lin quickly stepped forward and advised, "Xue'er, being able to marry into the royal palace and become a princess is an unparalleled honor and blessing. It's something that many people dream of!"

Chu Xiyue sneered and asked, "If it's so good, why don't you let Lin Ruoyun go?"

Mrs. Lin was stunned and stammered, unable to speak. Mr. Lin was also speechless.

At this moment, Madam Lin suddenly began to cry in a pretentious manner, covering her face with her hands, and choked up as she said, "But Yun'er is not the eldest daughter after all. Only you are qualified to marry into the palace and become the princess."

Seeing Madam Lin's hypocritical behavior, Chu Xiyue felt even more disgusted. However, this action made Master Lin feel distressed. He glared at Chu Xiyue with anger in his eyes.

"Someone come here! Lock up the eldest lady and don't let her out until the day of her wedding! Also, drag Dong'er away and give her ten lashes with a stick. If she does it again, sell her out!" Master Lin roared angrily.
